The courtyard was embellished with a remarkable variety of plants: the well-known botanist from Pavia, Pietro Romualdo Pirotta (1853-1936), was responsible for introducing the four species of palms, including those that still stand in the central flowerbed, among the highest in Rome.

27.04.2014
Two saints, four popes, 93 government delegations, 100 cardinals, 750 bishops, 10,000 security officials and 800,000 pilgrims: the day was, by any standards, a big one. The dual canonisation of two of the Catholic church's 20th-century giants brought streams of people to Rome from the world over, pulling them to St Peter's Square but leaving hundreds of thousands flooding the Via della Conciliazione and bridges of the Tiber.

HAPPY WEEK. **********************

The MAXXI, Italian: Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, or National Museum of the 21st Century Arts, is a national museum of contemporary art and architecture in the Flaminio quartiere of Rome, Italy.
It was designed as a multidisciplinary space by Zaha Hadid and committed to experimentation and innovation in the arts and architecture.

*****************************************

Original seat of the Museo Nazionale Romano (National Roman Museum) since its institution in 1889, the Baths of Diocletian are the most imposing thermal complex ever built in Rome. Erected between 298 and 306 CE, they spanned more than 13 hectares and could accommodate up to 3000 people at the same time, within a structure consisting of a series of environments such as gymnasia, libraries, a swimming pool of more than 3500 square metres and those rooms that were the heart of every thermal complex: the frigidarium (cold bath), the tepidarium (lukewarm bath) and the calidarium (hot bath).

It was precisely these latter spacious rooms the ones converted by Michelangelo into the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and the Christian Martyrs: in the other environments arose the Carthusian Monastery, conceived by the artist himself.

******************************************
In 1561, Pope Pius IV granted the remains of the Bath-houses of Diocletian to the Carthusian monks, appointing them as conservators of the ruins.

Subsequently to the act of donation of Pope Clement VIII in 1595, construction began of a new convent which was built according to the canonical scheme of the Order: a large cloister, a small cloister and the small dwellings (houses) for the monks.

The large cloister, known as Michelangelo's, was inserted between the the central body of the Baths and the northern side of its enclosure.

More of Rome; wish you a brilliant week ahead:)
****************************************

This Cloister is commonly known as Michelangelo's Cloister, due to the widespread idea that the artist built it along with the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and Martyrs; indeed, it is more likely that he made the preparatory drawings but only participated in the initial stages of the construction, as his death occurred in 1564.

With its 10,000 square metres and its wings of 100 metres, each rhythmically punctuated by 100 monolithic columns, the Cloister of Michelangelo is one of the largest in Italy; along the wings, originally conceived as covered walkways of the Charterhouse, are on display, as part of the permanent collection, sculptures, sarcophagi, altars as well as bases of statues of the Imperial age.

The small cloister was obtained to the right of the chancel from the new church, in the place of the ancient natatio; the cells, however, were arranged on the western side, far from the exterior wall and along the perimeter of the cloister.

*****************************************
The National Roman Museum (in Italian: Museo Nazionale Romano) is a museum, with several branches in separate buildings throughout the city of Rome, Italy.

Founded in 1889 and inaugurated in 1890, the museum's first aim was to collect and exhibit archaeologic materials unearthed during the excavations after the union of Rome to the Italian Kingdom.

In 1901 the State granted the National Roman Museum the recently acquired Collection Ludovisi as well as the important national collection of Ancient Sculpture. Findings during the urban renewal of the late 19th century added to the collections.

The reconversion of the environments of the ancient Bath-houses/Charterhouse into an exhibition space began on the occasion of the International Exhibition of Art of 1911; this effort was completed in the 1930s.

A Campo de'Fiori

GREETINGS FROM ROMA
*******************************
Campo de' Fiori (Italian: literally "field of flowers") is a rectangular square south of Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy, at the border between rione Parione and rione Regola. Campo de' Fiori, translated literally from Italian, means "field of flowers". The name dates to the Middle Ages when the area was a meadow.
In Ancient Rome, the area was unused space between Pompey's Theatre and the flood-prone Tiber. Though the Orsini established themselves on the south flank of the space in the 13th century, until the 15th century, the square remained undeveloped

Happy sunny day
************************

Ma dove ve ne andate,
povere foglie gialle,
come tante farfalle
spensierate?

Venite da lontano
o da vicino ?
Da un bosco
o da un giardino ?

E non sentite la malinconia
del vento stesso
che vi porta via ?

[TRILUSSA]
